They probably will just be a matty two pack if they are for real. It would be tough to fit those in a CnC line. Who would the monkey go with?

Anyways even if they do introduce them into the comic-line, it's a toyline after all. Don't take it so seriously. Life' s too short. This past week I had a friend almost die of heart failure. It really opens your eyes and makes you appreciate the more important things, Thanx Paul~

I wonder, did they change their powers any? Imean Zan always changing into a bucket of water? I can't wat to see what Jana looks like. It makes me think of the skit they did on Attack of the Show with Kevin and Olivia as the dynamic duo. It's very funny!

Sorry to break the news to some of you guys, but the Wonder Twins are part of the DC Universe. They have been included in several DC storylines and have guest starred in a few issues of JLA, Teen Titans from the 80's, and most recently in Extreme Justice. I have the comic books stored up somewhere. Extreme Justice is part of the DC universe btw.

From the Wiki Page
Extreme Justice version
The new, revamped Wonder Twins. Art by Todd Nauck.

In the 1990s they were introduced into the main DC Universe in the series Extreme Justice. The series retconned their origin so that they are slaves of an alien villain, later rescued by the Justice League. In Extreme Justice #9 (Oct. 1995), unable to speak English, they accidentally attack some civilians and the Justice League. They join Captain Atom's team in issue #16.[1] They had far greater powers than their cartoon counterparts. During their fight with the JLA, Zan became an ice golem, a water monster, and a demonic-looking whirlpool; while Jayna became a griffin, a werewolf, and a sea serpent. Although rarely seen today, this version of the Wonder Twins is still part of the current DC Universe. Later they appeared in Young Justice #49–51, wearing uniforms which resembled t-shirts and jeans, to help avenge the murder of Empress's parents. Apparently, the Wonder Twins enjoy the taste of CDs, as they ate several of Wonder Girl's favorite discs.

No offense intended toward anyone, but you guys might wanna save your breath - you cannot convince capitalzero otherwise. Look back several pages, this discussion already happened, with the same results.

Honestly speaking, I don't think it matters how much someone posts about how much they want or don't want something to happen, unless you work at mattel and have some major push. It's not a question of lying, but rather toy companies change direction all the time. Just look at Hasbro and their Q&A's. It's a feeling out process. Toy companies do not adhere to any strict rules and thinking so is setting yourself up for major disappointment.

Fine. They lied. And personally, I'm glad they did! I'm glad these figures are coming out. I'd rather Mattel lie and make these figures than not make them at all. If you don't want them, don't buy them.

I'm pretty set in my ways, I'm quite upset with Mattel for deceiving the real DC Fans. Those of us who READ COMICS.

The only real DC fans are the ones who read comics? That's somewhat strained logic, isn't it...especially considering the tremendously low quality of much of what DC's put out in the comics lately. Just because you read whatever nonsense DC puts out doesn't make you a more "real" fan than anyone else.

You can complain all you want about cartoon characters, but Zan & Jayna are canonical DC characters, and have just as much validity as Harley Quinn does as characters, despite the infrequence of their appearances.

I'm not gonna buy them. I just hope they don't include any of this cartoon garbage in a C&C wave.

There are plenty of Cartoon lines these could've shown up in, without taking up valuable slots in a COMIC ONLY line.

As others have pointed out, both Harley Quinn and Batman Beyond started out in cartoons. And Batman Beyond in particular was never really in comics (that I am aware of) with the exception of the Batman Beyond comics that were based straight off the cartoon (just like the Batman Adventures being based on the animated series). Harley did transition over to the regular comics, but still, she did originate in a cartoon.

I find it funny that you are complaing so much about the Wonder Twins because of their cartoon origins, but have no apparent beef with these other characters.

Obviously, your own arguement on this matter isn't very consistent. It seems as if the reality of the situation is that you don't necessarily have a problem with cartoon-based characters that you actually like or at least wouldn't mind having in your collection. But, the second any cartoon originated characters that you don't personally care for come into question, then suddenly you have something to complain about.

This seems to be the only logical explanation, since you never expressed any upsetness over Harley or Batman Beyond.

Besides, my guess would be that Mattel's original intention was to not include cartoon characters such as this, but there's probably since been a lot of requests and demand for them. Just because YOU don't like them, doesn't mean other people don't want them. And so, Mattel is listening to the fan base, and giving them what they want. Sorry if it goes against their original statement, but it doesn't make sense for them to 100% stick to that statement if it means upsetting and disappointing many fans who want these products. Mattel is not going to disapoint a bunch of people AND walk away from the money that they can make selling these figures just because it doesn't completely mesh with their original intention for the line, or because it happens to disapoint a handful of people along the way.

Just because YOU are set in YOUR ways, doesn't mean that the rest of the world should drop everything to adapt to your individual preferances.

If they're gonna start infecting it with Cartoon Characters, then I want the Harlem Globetrotters, Mama Cass, and the Robo Stooges.

since they interacted with Scooby Doo, and he interacted with Batman.

If they wanted to do Superfriends, then they should've started a Superfriends line.

There's a huge difference there. Scooby-Doo and the Harlem Globe Trotters are not DC owned characters. They may have crossed over with DC characters at one point, but they are not actually a direct part of the DC Universe.

Regardless of their cartoon origins, the Wonder Twins are DC owned characters, and have also since appeared in comics. There's plenty of good reason why they should appear in the line.

Will they be the 1st wonder twins toys made? I tried to find some other but only customs. I will get them and I really don't buy the line not that I don't think they are great but collect too many things. I do pick up figures that I like. Don't get a chance to read comics for one no stores around me anymore to pick them and I wouldn'tknow where to start since I have not readed one for years

Mattel is not afraid of doing obscure characters. They've hinted that they'll do some other obscure ones too, so who knows who'll you'll see in DCUC. I'm surprised Ultraman and Alex Luthor are getting made.

I personally want a few more mainstream guys like Martian Manhunter and a Poison Ivy.

Hoosfn: DC Direct did a Superfriends line a few years back and they had a set of Wonder Twins with Gleek. As far as I know, those where the only Wonder Twin toys ever produced.

There was proposed figures in the Super Power figures but the toys only got as far as the drawing table before the line died. It was kinda neat concept for the time. They were going to have snap on armor attachments. Jaina was going to have like a snap on animal form armor and Zan was going to have snap on ice armor attachments.
